Southeast Powders Show to
Co-Locate with SouthPack
 (Editor's
Note: I received this as an email from Mike Morrissey of
Canon Communications. Co-locating the SE Powders Show with
SouthPack will make this small regional, off-year show,
bigger than the Powders Show in Chicago, at least in
attendance! Plus the show is now in April, not May.)
Norwalk, CT -- As you may have heard, the Powder & Bulk
Solids events have been purchased by Canon Communications
LLC, based in Los Angeles. As of June 15th, 2006, the
transaction was completed and some positive changes have
been announced.
The
2007 Southeast Powder & Bulk Solids Show will be moved from
the Cobb Gallery to the Georgia World Congress Center in
downtown Atlanta. The new show dates will be April 24-26.
The
show will also be co-located with the SouthPack event which
draws over 20,000 attendees. Over 800 Exhibitors & 300,000
square feet of exhibition space! Over 20,000 attendees
expected over 3 days.
Editors note: Here is the link to the SouthPack event for
more details:

Delmar Schmidt Wins Our First
Blogging Contest
 Jacksonville
Beach, FL -- Delmar Schmidt, an Applications and Field
Engineer at
Melfi Technologies, is the winner of our first blog
author's contest. Rather than take the iPod, Delmar chose to
go for the $200 gift certificate from Amazon. I asked him
what he planned to do with his gift certificate:
"I
plan to be totally frivolous," he replied, "and upgrade to a
new PDA Bluetooth enabled cell phone and earpiece. This is
something I have wanted for a while but would not ordinarily
send my own hard-earned dollars for. Thank you Powder and
Bulk Dot Com for the contest!"
Delmar
said this was his first blog article, though he has been an
active online contributor the Powder and Bulk help forum.
"I
currently do not read or subscribe to other blogs," he wrote
in an email, "because frankly I do not see the functional
advantage of the blog format. Powder and Bulk and the other
forums I frequent do a great job of attracting colleagues
with similar interests and experiences to share, and
effectively assemble the postings into a usable format.
Because of this I have not had the need to further
investigate bogging. With time I'm sure I will figure it out
and see the advantage."
Thanks
again to our fellow blogger, Joe Lewis, and
Monitor Technologies for sponsoring the contest. For all
those who signed up for authoring accounts but didn't get
around to posting an article, you still have an opportunity
to win in our next contest. Watch for an announcement coming
soon.

Hot Messages from the Help Forum
People post their requests

Mr. Mohr needs help calculating
heat loss in conveying line:
I am designing a positive
pressure, dilute phase, convey system for fly ash and am
interested in learning about the effects of temperature loss
of the conveyed mixture (solids + air).
The starting temperature of
the mixture based on mass flows is 700 degrees F. I am
curious how to determine the temperature of the mixture
after 300 feet of pipe length in outdoor installation with
no insulation.
I have used an iterative
process to determine a delta T based on energy in, (mCp(T1 -
T2)) equal to energy out, (convective + radiation) but am
not sure if I am on the right track.

Mr. Chen needs help finding a
bagging machine:
Hi members, I am designing a
dry concrete production plant and have difficulty in finding
a dry concrete packing machine. The coarse aggregate size is
5 - 18 mm and fine aggregate size is 3 - 6 mm.
What kind of packing machine
can be used in the application. If the sack is valve or
open-mouthed, is there any difference in packing machine?

More people than the Chicago
Powders Show! Having more than a +600% increase in
attendance will make a lot of exhibitors very happy.
And its our lead story this week, read on!
